"The Washington Post continued to run Twitter ads to boost views to its branded content campaigns on the platform late last month, despite one of its reporters being banned a few weeks prior"

I'm that reporter. It's now been more than a month since I was suspended on Twitter for sharing factual journalism. I miss a few people there, but the website has been easily replaced.

@drewharwell Boo Hoo!

Nobody cares about your past #tweeter life dude - this is the #Fediverse. Get over yourself and stop conflating the two.

And you can't post any kinda of worthwhile journalism in 500 characters either. Get off of mastodon and get yourself a #Friendica, #Soapbox, #Mitra, or #Calckey account where you can write articles of any length you need.

You can launch a capable Fediverse accounthere:

Soapbox.pub

This time, don't be a freaking idiot and instead,publish newsworthy articles.

I hope that helps!
